BVB defender Marin Pongracic had drawn the displeasure of his club and its supporters with another misstep on social media. Now the loan player from VfL Wolfsburg has taken a public position.
Pongracic had publicly liked a “kicker” post on Instagram in which ex-world footballer Lothar Matthäus was quoted with words critical of BVB. Matthäus had told the trade magazine: “If Dortmund and Leipzig worked as well as Mainz and Freiburg, then they would have a chance. It is not just money.”
One of the more than 24,000 likes for this post came from Pongracic of all people, who as a central defender can already look back on 15 competitive appearances this season for Westphalia.
On Wednesday evening, the 25-year-old asserted that he had not deliberately pressed the “Like” button: “It is very important to me to make it clear that my ‘like’ of the ‘kicker’ post from Monday was accidentally placed. When I clicked on it was made aware, I removed it immediately because it absolutely did not reflect my opinion. I would like to sincerely apologize, “said the Croat in one Instagram story.
